I have a Dimension 5150 with Sigmatel STAC9220 according to DELL.

I'm trying to get more than one of the audio outputs to work simultaneously to get analog 5.1 audio via 3 separate audio jacks and the aggregate device editor (possible in xp so I can't understand why it wouldn't be possible here)

I can get audio via AppleHDA using stac9220.txt files I downloaded but only two channels from one port at a time.

With VoodooHDA I can get 2 channels from all the ports (it recognizes each port as an audio device for for a stac9221 A1) but the computer only sees it as one device so I can only output 2 channels to all the ports at the same time...basically just like having extra headphone jacks.

I can't figure out a way for the computer to see each port independently so I can push different audio channels through different ports...

Please help if you can...this is killing me....



EDIT:Added Linux Dump...trying to work with it to understand why once I put it through appleHDA Patcher it still only sees two channels....
